Your approach simply isn't going to work.
The background image is a fixed width. It will not shrink or
grow like the
text in front of it.
The background image is wider than the word "pie" but not as
wide as the
word "sigh".
So, if you add padding to the left and right of the link to
make the whole
background show behind "pie", the same padding is added to
"sigh". Now the
"sigh" link is much wider than the background image. Because
your
background image repeats, you see the left edge of the next
repeating one
behind sigh.
If you remove the padding to make it so you see just one
image behind
"sigh", now the padding around "pie" is too narrow to see the
whole
background.
You could try giving each link a class and having a separate
padding for
each word, but all that is pretty useless because different
people have
different text size settings in their browsers.
In some browsers, the words will be bigger than the
background image.
In others, the words will be small and you'll only see part
of the
background.
The free tutorial I sent you is just that, a tutorial.
You do the work, you have the copyright.
If you are not interested in that one, here's another idea.
You can use borders and simple background , like a gradient,
to make a tab
that looks just like your tab images and sizes along with
your text...no
matter how long the word is and no matter what size the text
is.
Here's the free tutorial.
You don't even have to do the whole thing, just the first
part where it
shows you how to make links that look like image buttons.
